Nishikiii!
Naotooo!
I love them.
She is so precious.
He is such a piece of crap.
So good.

There were an amount of really bad typos, and the choice of translating the honorifics bother me a lot, which has given this edition a lower score than the book otherwise would have gotten.

Also, the ugly-ass translations of kanji written on clothes strike again, ruining an otherwise flawless panel. First Tenka's haori, and now
Naoto's murder message
. Both transgressions are crimes, from a fan standpoint.

DID NOT FINISH: 16%
It is incredibly dry and boring. It might be my state of mind though so I may give it another shot later.
